Handy's Orchestra Of Memphis - Livery Stable Blues

[allthatjazz2000]

wonderful!

I say James Reese Europe was not only the first black to record jazz, but history should be re-written. There are several recordings that date from 1913-14 pre-dating the ODJB by three years. Both were recorded by Victor. So I guess the one thing you can't debate is that Victor was the first company to record jazz.

I believe this is the oldest blues/jazz recording i've ever heard.

Thanks for sharing man.

You should really use a modern turntable and with amplifier and pre amplifier that would enhance the listening

No offense

Thanks god your record is in intop notch condition

Who sais that Kid Ory ' s sunshine Orchestra was the first black band to recordJ, azz , in 1922 ?

@Bumblebee38

acoustic 78's had a kind of grit in them to wear the steel needle down to fit the groove more closely; the needle was suppose to be replaced with each record;

that being said, I do have a set up for digitalizing 78s. I just thought the old knock off Victrola more visually interesting for youtoob

Deffinatly rather amaturish in comparison to the original dixieland jazz bands' version, I concure.

[Zefrenm]

sounds simular, a little slower and i don;t hear the bass drum like the Victor Recording, i just posted the ODJB verison. great post :)

[dancingwithfrogs]

You´re right. They just tried to copy the ODJB. Without great sucess.

[dancingwithfrogs]

That´s exactly copied from the ODJB´s record released in february 1917.
